Setting a Switch’s Enhanced Stacking Status
The enhanced stacking status of the switch can be master switch, slave
switch, or unavailable. Each status is described below:
ˆ Master switch - A master switch of a stack can be used to manage all
the other switches in a subnet. After you establish a local or remote
management session with the master switch, you can access and
manage all the switches in the subnet.
ˆ Slave switch - A slave switch can be remotely managed through a
master switch or independently, such as through a local management
session.
ˆ Unavailable - A switch with an unavailable stacking status cannot be
remotely managed through a master switch. A switch with this
designation can be managed locally. To be managed remotely,
Interface 0 on the switch must be given an IP address and assigned to
the VLAN where the remote management station is a member.
Note
The default setting for a switch is slave.
Note
You cannot change the stacking status of a switch through
enhanced stacking. You must access the switch directly, either
through a local or remote session, to change its stacking status.
To adjust a switch’s enhanced stacking status, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 8 to select Enhanced Stacking.
The Enhanced Stacking menu is shown in Figure 16.
